Urge for Going

I woke up today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And the shivering trees are standing in their naked rows
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

CHORUS #1:
And I get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in

I had a girl in summertime, with summer colored skin
And not another man in town that darling's heart could win
When the leaves came tumbling down
And bully winds did rub their faces in the snow
She got the urge for goin', and I had to let her go.

CHORUS #2:
She gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in

And the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
All that's left is dying, and all that lives is gettin' out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flapping and racin' on before the snow
They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go

CHORUS #3:
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in

I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and keep my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And ask her to stay for just another month or so
She's got the urge for going , I guess she'll have to go

CHORUS #4:
She's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
All her empires are falling down
Winter's closing in

I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down
Winter's closing in
